What Engineers Need to Know About Fluid Dynamics

In order to stay abreast of current hydraulics engineering fundamentals and applications today, it's critical to be versed on the concepts of fluid dynamics and the analysis involved in hydrostatics, hydrodynamics and hydraulic machines. Delve into this online PDH course exploring the elements of fluid dynamics, hydrodynamics and hydraulic machines for those with little or no fluids background. More specifically, this engineering course will transition from hydraulics concepts to the actual laws, mathematical equations, sample problems and practical hydraulics real-life case study examples. As such, this course can be used to satisfy the Professional Development Hour (PDH) engineering continuing education requirement established by state boards and other licensure agencies.
